Welcome, Guest.
The Collector Zone is a free community for trading card collectors - both sports and non-sports. There are forums for all of the major sports, non-sports, autographs and other hobby-related information. In addition, there are areas to trade, buy and sell with other collectors. Our members have now completed over 48,125 collector-to-collector transactions using our easy-to-use Transaction Manager.

With over 30,500 collectors and over 2,750,000 posts, there's plenty of ways to get involved with the other members - either in discussions or with trading. So, are you ready to join and start meeting other collectors?

We're going to prepare formal guidelines related to signatures in the near future. However, I did want to go ahead and make a request now for every member to review their signature and make an attempt to keep it to a reasonable size - as a courtesy to each other.

Here are very high-level rules of thumb:

Height: Keep the height to something equivalent to my signature (1-1.5x or less). As you can see, you can easily fit a few images and text into a signature and still keep the height reasonable.

Width: Images should be kept to a reasonable width. A quick test is to simply look at the top of the site while viewing your own profile. If the gap between the logo (left corner) and the banner (middle) is very much, one or more images in your signature are too large. Typically, images of about 400 pixels wide or less work best.

If you could create smaller fonts I could use, I think I can fit the Declaration of Independence in my sig.

Where I'm from....

As of August 8, 2015: After coming to a long thought-out and difficult decision, I will no longer be joining box/case breaks. There are things in my life require my attention and resources that have been on the back burner for too long. Right now, I have to appreciate what I already have.

hey bob, just wanted to see if my Sig. was cool or if you want me to size it down a bit, Just let me know.

The height looks just fine.

If you look at the top of the site, you're likely seeing a gap between the logo and banner at the moment. To remove that gap, it would be better if your banner was closer to 400 pixels wide.

Again, I have no intention of getting out a ruler and measuring everyone's signature and spending a bunch of time enforcing strict rules about signature size. I'm simply asking everyone to understand that your signature does affect how others view topics. Please just keep that in mind and make adjustments if you can.

For the record, I've also received a number of PMs over time that indicated that members thought the site was "too busy" with images, etc. in the signatures. Point is that we just have to find a reasonable point in the middle.
